[linux-audio-user] hdsp multiface problem

by Tim Blechmann

hi all, i've got a problem with my brand new hdsp multiface / cardbus ... i got everything working so far ... modules are installed and can upload the firmware ... i can even use the hdspmixer to mix the incoming sounds to the outputs ... but i didn't manage to play any sound from the computer ... i can start jack / pd / spiralmodular, but all i hear is a distorted sound, that sounds a bit similar to what i expect the signal to sound ... the pitch of the distortion changes when i change the rate of the sample clock source ... any idea what could cause this behaviour ? btw, i can't start jack when i set the sample clock source to values greater than 62khz ... the strangest thing ... when starting the audio application, the output signal that is routed from the input channels has these distortions, too, until i stop the application... i've been trying alsa 0.9.8 and 1.0.0_rc2 and i downgraded the firmware from rev. 11 to 10 ... any hints?

[linux-audio-user] percussions/rhythms? gmorgan hydrogen

by Juhana Sadeharju

Hello. What kind of software gmorgan and hydrogen are with respect to storing rhythms? I would like to build up a rhythm library only. The samples used in the rhythms are placed later by the musician, hinted by terms, e.g., "dum", "tak", "accented", "legato" (whatever they mean). Any suggestions for terms? Should I build the library, e.g., with Rosegarden instead? Any other strategy? More general strategy? I downloaded Yamaha RX11/15 Pattern Book and would like to get those rhythms easily to use whenever I need them. I have also a plenty of other rhythms. (http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/index.html) Regards, Juhana

[linux-audio-user] No luck moving for the 2.4 kernel to 2.6

by Glenn McCord

Hi. I'm wondering how good the new 2.6 kernel is at recording live audio. I managed to get my 2.4 kernel with Andrew Morton low latency patch to record without any of those troublesome xruns but when I tried using the stable 2.6 I get more more problems than I ever did when I was first experimenting with the 2.4 (and that wasn't pretty) I intend to use my box mainly for recording live audio and editing in rezound and ardour. I used the instructions from http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=88781&highlight=jack+howto to finally get the 2.4 kernel to work properly but have had no luck with the 2.6 Essentially, jack coughs up LOTS of xruns when using ardour and often jack will shut ardour down or the whole computer will freeze (even the mouse won't move) Another problem I've noticed is that seeing alsa is now built in, how am I to get the midi keyboard to work? In the 2.4 I used #modprobe snd-seq (because it can't be added to /etc/modules.autoload) but in the 2.6 alsa is built in and the midi keyboard doesn't work by default. I notcied there is an Andrew Morton version of the 2.6 at http://www.kernel.org/patchtypes/mm.html Should I be using those? and what does mm stand for anyway? Is there anything else besides what's mentioned in that above howto that I should be aware of? Thanks

[linux-audio-user] Audio 3-D Demo --- Any Interest in Software?

by davidrclark＠earthlink.net

Greetings Linux Audio Users. A few weeks ago, I mailed to the user list a URL regarding some audio software I have been working on over the past two years. For those who missed it: http://home.earthlink.net/~davidrclark/linux_audio_users/ The only response I received was regarding the 3-D audio work I have been doing (Benji --- Thanks!). It was suggested that I provide a more comprehensive demo at a higher encoding rate. I have just posted a demo of three audio clips (in one file) to: http://home.earthlink.net/~davidrclark/latest_mp3.html The three 30-second audio clips are each repeated twice in the MP3 file as follows: 1) Monophonic, dry recording from Roland XV-3080 2) Performance output from Roland XV-3080, including hall-like reverb, etc. 3) Engulf 3-D Audio processed version of the monophonic, dry recordings, one track at a time. The tracks are exactly those in #1 above. 4) Repeat of #2, performance output of Roland with reverb, etc. 5) Repeat of #1, monophonic, dry. 6) Repeat of Engulf 3-D Audio processed version of #1. The clips are in this order to ease comparison. The file is a 6.0 MB 256 KBps encoded MP3 file. The 3-D audio is only noticeable if one uses headphones, which is what this processing is designed for. Is anyone interested in this type of processing? I would think that many people would be interested due to the popularity of headphones and stereo earphones these days and the fact that commercial CD's are horrible to listen to with headphones. Thanks for your attention, and regards to all. Dave.

This is the part of your presentation that I find interesting and somewhat different than my view. I personally don't think good headphones make most recordings sound bad. Bad headphones sound bad no matter what the recording. Bad recording can sound very bad in headphones, but really good recordings sound quite good. (To me... I listen to about 3-4 hours of music a day on headphones and am quite used to hearing certain recordings both ways.) Headphones do tend to sound a lot more 'close in' than listening in an open room though and certainly you're technology tend to give more sense of space. This could also have some uses in just some specialized mixing applications where you want to give some distance to a single instrument, for instance, so I'd encourage you to think about bit about how this technology relates to bus oriented reverbs, etc. > This is a way of > creating accurate but simulated binaural recordings for larger rooms from > a monophonic, dry signal.

I've been testing a new IR reverb that's not on the market yet. It's quite nice. > > Thanks again for your response. My pleasure. - Mark

[linux-audio-user] no sound in zynaddsubfx with jackd

by Olivier

Sorry for a problem that is probably just down to my ignorance. I am running mdk 9.2 with an audigy sound card using the alsa driver emu10k1. jackd -d alsa -d hw starts without error message. it says : jackd 0.93.6 Copyright 2001-2003 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details loading driver .. apparent rate = 44100 creating alsa driver ... hw|hw|1024|2|44100|0|0|nomon|swmeter|rt|32bit configuring for 44100Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods Couldn't open hw for 32bit samples trying 24bit instead Couldn't open hw for 24bit samples trying 16bit instead Couldn't open hw for 32bit samples trying 24bit instead Couldn't open hw for 24bit samples trying 16bit instead starting zyn doesn't yield any error message. When using the virtual keyboard, the meters at the bottom suggest some sound is being generated but I can't hear it. I've seen references to jack-connect but I don't know what it is. My sound set-up works fine otherwise (xmms artsd (disabled for the moment) all use alsa output device) A rtfm pointer would be just fine. Olivier

[linux-audio-user] midi troubles

by C. Villard

Bonjour, Before starting, I want to say that I have already spent a lot of time trying to make Brahms, Rosegarden, Solfege or Jazz+ working, and spent a lot of my internet time too (ohh just some few hours left on my provider account !). So, I'm looking for a good answer, but perhaps it's not possible ? I've read a post on a french list of a guy who's saying that he uses linux since the beginning and that, after bigs probs sometimes, everything go fine except...midi that never seems to work !!! It seems that I'm taking this way and it's not funny Well... my computer is a PIV with a P4S8X-X Asus motherboard ; this motherboard includes a AD1980 chip for sound, and there's also a midi/game port on th motherboard ; I've bought a cable to get this port outside the box and have plug on it (with a midi cable) my Alesis qs8 keyboard. For linux, it's an mdk 9.2 download edition. Alsa is running (message at boot) and the driver choosen for the sound chip by the sytem is the intel8x0 one. Last thing, I can hear sound without difficulty : when X runs afeter boot, I hear the little jingle witch comes with. ---------------------------------------------- Problems : - first, it seems that midi is not existing for linux. For example, when I launch K mid, in the part "configuration" midi , it's noticed "alsa device" but, when playing a mid file, no sound goes out from my qs8. When I try to launch Artscontrol, in midi part, there's nothing for input or output. -I've succeded to install rosegarden 4 with rpm packages ; it has been very difficult because when I was trying to install rose. It tells me "no librosegarden" and when trying installing "libr." answer was "no ....roseg." !!!!! So someone tells me "urpmi rosg. libros." : it worked !!! But rosegarden don't work ; when trying to import a midi file, it doesn't work (no sound) and begin to become very instable (window freezing, no response ...) ; when I try to record I get the mess "no audio subsystem installed" well...... - Jazz...never installed ; when I try to, a lib is always missing, same for Solfege, even if the lib is already installed (it's the case for a gtkhtml one for example) -Brahms says that there's no artsmidi.h even if I find it in /usr/include/arts... So I'm very disappointed by these things and I've tried everything I could without succes. I'm looking for a simple way to install and correctly run these progs ; if somebody........ cordialement,

RE: [linux-audio-user] The trouble with disks

by eviltwin69＠cableone.net

John, First, is your data disk separate from your system disk? If not, this could be part of your problem. Second, what FS are you using? Ext3 is a bad choice since it puts the journal in a different location from the file. I would recommend using Reiserfs for your data partition. XFS might even be better but I haven't seen any tests on it yet. Ext2 is better than ext3 but still not as good as Reiserfs. Another thing, turn off syslogd, crond, etc before recording.

I have mine at /mnt/ramfs, with jack thusly configured. I read somewhere that ramfs is purely memory based, whereas tmpfs can use disk as backup if it needs to expand. bye John

I have the same sound chip as yourself. I can't seem to get jack to start. I have not goteen as far as yourself but I will be there shortly configuring midi. Can you please send me your start command for jack. this is what I'm using and I'm getting xrum values od 6.0 msec jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 44100 -H -p64 Good luck MikeD
